John, sorry about this being off topic but ever since I've started doing the construction lessons and practicing I can't seem to just go right in and doodle/sketch anymore. It's like my brain is hot-wired to plan out and construction things, which is alright, but sometimes it gets tedious especially when all I want is to be silly and doodle some girls.

Hey franshawn. I learned a thing to do for this in drawing classes. I can't explain things well so here. http://bshelley.com/blog/?m=200911 Bottom of that page under movement and energy. Don't worry about what it looks like, don't take your pencil off the paper, and don't stop moving your hand. Really loosens you up. Do that for a while should unwire you :)

Also John, I was wonder if it was possible for you to post some of your high school/college/very old stuff if you haven't lost it. I was chatting with Miles Inada and he mentioned how he liked to see.. I forget; let's say the evolution of his favorite artist from their earliest work and so on. I'd really appreciate it if you could do so.
